| Abstract: |
With the objectives of documenting horto-morphological characteristics and evaluating
the performance of onion .(Allium cepa L.) landraces t,mder Chitwan condition, a study
was carried out during 2006-2007. The experiment was laid_ out jn ·a Randomized. -
Complete Block Design (RCBD) Which COJ?Sisted of nine entries of onion as treatments ;_
· (six landraces and three common cultivars} replicated thrice. The study revealed
significant variation in plant height, yield and quality attributes . of differerir landraces
and common cultivars of onion. Dapcha Local seemed as on~ of the -earliest maturing
.land race. The difference in neck .thickness was not significant among the /andraces and
cultivars._ Landraces .showed more bulb splitting while it was the least in Lucifer. Nona-·

statistically at par with Nuwakote Local, Dapcha Local, N-53 and Doti Locai. Though
